  2. Power training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_training

    The optimum proportions of strength for power generation may be non-sports specific and based upon an ability to perform more powerfully in general, or sports specific and based upon the requirements of a particular sport. For example, a sprint cyclist may incorporate heavy back squats into their training regime in order to increase their leg ...

  3. Ballistic training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_training

    Ballistic lifts force the muscles to produce the greatest amount of force in the shortest amount of time. In accordance with Henneman's size principle muscle fibers are recruited from a low to a high threshold as force requirements increase. 2. Speed of the movement. To ensure full muscle fiber recruitment the speed of the lift must be ...

  4. Velocity based training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_based_training

    These include barbell sports such as powerlifting [3] and Olympic weightlifting and Crossfit, as well as rock climbing [4].Velocity based training is widely adopted across professional sporting clubs, [5] with the data supporting many periodisation decisions for coaches in the weight room and on the field.

  5. Speedster (fiction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedster_(fiction)

    The Speed Force is a cosmic force based around velocity and movement and is the in-universe representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward. However, the Speed Force is not the source from which all DC characters with superspeed get their powers.

  6. Biomechanics of sprint running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics_of_sprint_running

    As the velocity of the runner increases, inertia and air resistance effects become the limiting factors on the sprinter's top speed. It was previously believed that there was an intramuscular viscous force that increased proportionally to the velocity of muscle contraction that opposed the contractile force; this theory has since been disproved ...

  8. Sprint (running) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(running)

    Usain Bolt, world record holder in 100 m and 200 m sprints This sprinter's initial crouch in the blocks allowed her to preload her muscles and channel the force generated from this into her first strides. Sprinting is running over a short distance at the top-most speed

  9. Isoinertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoinertial

    The isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and ...
